I refuse to believe Lattimore, Williams, Apple can be this bad on the back end. We must improve in the secondary. No excuses. |

Re: Why is Lattimore Slipping?
I always hated zone growing up. I wanted to play man coverage all game. I always felt like zone took away some of your aggression. When I got to high school that’s all they wanted to play. It was either Cover 3 or Cover 6; deep thirds or the flats. The thing about zone, there’s thinking involved. Let’s say they run a smash concept and I’m in a Cover 2/Flats shell, technically I’m supposed to come up and stop the curl but also make it harder to throw the corner by squeezing the window down. So what if I see the corner route flash open because the safety was late so I leave the curl wide open? What if I choose the curl and the safety gets beat for the corner? Zone is just different and you’re relying SO heavily on your teammates to do their job. They can really make you look bad. Obviously our players want to play freely and fly around. I don’t blame them.

Re: Why is Lattimore Slipping?
Well guys, all I can say is people just need to be where they’re supposed to be in zone. If you’re in deep thirds then get back. Don’t worry about the curls and the comebacks. That kept me in trouble early on until I realized my responsibility was to not get beat deep. From that point on I never did. I just kept it all in front of me. Linebackers are supposed to get out there underneath curls and patrol the flats. Strong Safety and MLB sits on slants. Just don’t get beat deep.
Cover 3 is a bend but don’t break defense as it is and we run it a lot because it looks similar to Cover 1 pre snap (single high safety). For some reason we like that single high safety look with Williams patrolling the entire back end. I don’t think he really has that kind of range and athleticism but whatever. I just don’t think we have the right personnel to run the scheme Allen wants to run. If he wanted to run Cover 3 and Cover 1 they should have spent all their free agency money on Earl Thomas or kick the tires on Eric Berry. We also don’t have good coverage linebackers. We have run stuffers. |
Re: Why is Lattimore Slipping?
That's some great insight rez. The one thing I know about zone coverage is that with coach Payton scheming and Drew Brees throwing the ball we can slice the defenses in the seams. To me that is where the weakness is with zone coverage. Payton is a genius at clearing out zones and then having the players settle into the seam for a reception.
